Answer 3

I make sure I set aside some time every day that is 'Me Time', when I relax and do something I enjoy, like read a humorous book, listen to music, draw, do a crossword or sudoku, anything that will concentrate my mind, a bit like meditation in a way, and deep breathing helps

What can I do to reduce stress?
Keep a positive attitude.

Accept that there are events that you cannot control.
Be assertive instead of aggressive. "Assert" your feelings, opinions, or beliefs instead of becoming angry, combative, or passive.

Exercise regularly. Your body can fight stress better when it is fit.

Answer 7

I roll drunks

it is a two fold cure,..

1. It lets me take out my aggressions

2. It reminds me that no matter how bad life gets,.. the poor SOB I am whaling on has it worse (or at least at the moment)

I also kick babies sometimes to,.. It makes me feel powerful since they fly pretty far,... just sucks sometimes because if the parents chase after you instead of their soaring child it can be a bad day....
